Eskimo Traditions.

But, speaking of traditions, nigh
say that these people possess u grea
many Of them. 1t is. however, very diff
cult to induce an Eskimo to speak of
such things or of his religious beliefs.
The only way of extracting such informa-
tion from an Eskimo is to make him your
friend, and then getting him away from
his companions promise that you will not
tell them what he may tell you, and hav-
ing done this to draw him step by step
into the line of conversation you want to
get at. One Of their traditions is about
the flood, and think it is particularly
interesting, as it is one of many similar
legends held by the savage tribes. The
E>kimos say that very long time ago
there was great ram, which flooded the
earth and destroyed all men except Il few
who constructed large boat out of a
number Of small ones and used it as a
means of escape. After while the poor
creatures, being exposed to the fury of
the storm in their open boat, began to be
cold and uncomfortable so their chief,
standing up, threw his spears and orna-
mrnts into the waters. and this was suffi-
cirnt TO paci(y them and they subsidized.
They have also romantic legend about
the origin Of the sun and moon. - 1orvato

from the "stylus" of the wisest of all

Fattening Pigs on Pasture.

A notion prevails that pigs cannot be
fattcncd unless closely shut up in pen.
Along in September, as soon as corn is
large enough to be fed to them, the pigs
must be confined in stuffy little pen,
where they cannot get sniff of fresh air
Oh green grass. This is an unnatural and
unreasonable theory. Animals that have
had the freedom of pasture range all
summer, cannot be contcnted when thus
suddenly deprived of it; and when not
contented they will not readily take on
flesh. think the idea must have origi-
mated in the fact that few hogs, shut
away from the main drive, will do better
on the same feed than the others. This
separation usually occurs at fattcning
time. The advantage gained in this way
may sometimes exceed the loss occasioned
by removal from grass and thus give rise
to the notion that close confinement on q
plank floor is just the thing for fattening
pigs.
Again there is breed q am glad it is
now almost eXtinct) that can never be
fattcned unless they are ringed. ham,
strung and tied down, for they are newt
able land-Sharks by nature as well rs by
name, and will root themselves down to
bristles and bones if given space enough
in which to do it. In times when this
breed (O was the prevailing one,
it was quite likely to cause
the farmer to think that q hog
could not be fattcncd while allowed any
degree of freedom. But, as / have said
before, we have now gotten out of this
kind of stock, and as q natural conse-
quence, we want to get out of this way
Of managing our swine. A modern, re-
spectacle, we'll bred pig will not root his
flesh off if he is fed in satisfying quanti-
ties, as fattening pigs out West usually
are. In fact, it has been clearly demon
stratcd that he will take on fat much
faster if allowed room to exercise and a
chance to add something to his diet of
dry corn. Hogs of this kind do not root
much if given good clover pasture.
Unless given something besides dry corn,
they ought to root, for their systems de-
maud something more than the corn con-
tains They will not root for fun, nor for
food if they can find what they need on
the surface Of the ground.
AS to the quality of pork fattened on
clear corn diet, while the pigs so fed are
closely confined, little need be said. The
diseased pork that is inflicted upon the
country is grown in these same putrid,
infected holes. Pure, wholesome milk
or flesh cannot come from filthy food or
filthy surroundings.-Practieal Farmer.

A Fertilizer Hint.

]. B. S. has light, gravclly and poor
soil which he proposes to seed to wheat
with grass, and has salt, lime, plaster and
ashes as fertilizer. AS the land has
never had salt or lime, their application
may be very beneficial. We advise SOW
ing alternate strips with the salt, lime
and plaster, to see how they act. That
is the only way to tcll-experiment for
yourself. Nor should we bother to mix
these with the bone and ashes, but apply
them separately and in varying quanti-
ties; but don't get on more than two bar
rels of salt per acre, and less may be as
well. The ashes, if pure and unleachcd,
will contain about six per cent. of potash
and two per cent. of phosphoric acid ;
pure fine ground bone contains about
twenty per cent. of phoSphoric acid and
four per cent. of nitrogen commonly
called ammonia). Mixed together in
equal proportions, VIC have fertilizer
running two per cent. of nitrogen, eleven
per cent. of phosphoric acid and three per
cent. of potash; apply this at the rate of
500 pounds to 1000 pounds per acre, ac-
cording to your purse, and you should
get results that will please you. The
bone and ashes should be composted and
kept moist for two or three months be-
fore using, so that the potash will cut and
soften the bone. We should drill this in,
and broadcast and harrow in the salt and
plaster, though broadcasting for both may
be bettcr.-Fa,m and Garden.

Carried 1t Herself.

Mrs. Hcttie Green, the Wall street wo-
man of many millions, has always been
known for her moderate expenditures,
and this was illustrated when she called
at the office of Brown Brothers & Co.
Mrs. Green had with her in wellworn
satchcl which she usually carries in the
street, $1,000, 900 of Philadelphia and
Reading stock. She wanted the stock
transferred, and was told that the trans
fer office of the company was in Phila-
tlclphia. and furthermore that it would
cost 800 to send the 81 600, 600 Reading
to Philadelphia by express.
'Onc hundred dollarsn Mrs. Green cx-
claimed. why, young man, the fare TO
Philadelphia is only 81. Just you hand

the stock back into her satchrl and went

The Place for Chair Makers.

Last winter, when living in the City OF
Mexico, tried to buy better chair than
the one assigned me in my room at the
middlc-class hotel, where was stopping.
But, to my dismay, I found the furniture
man wanted me to pay $40 for q chair
which could be had almost anywhere in
the United States for $3.50. spoke to
our Minister about it one day by chance,
when he explained to me that the duty on
the cheapest of chairs was at the rate of
500 per dozen.
Let some few entcrprising young Amcri-
can mechanics or carpenters act upon this.
Go down to the capital of Mexico and
make furniture. All the fertile valleys of
Mexico arc lined with willow trees. All
the little mountain streams come tumbling
down through lanes of little willow trees.
Take hint from one who knows the land
we'll and 60 down there and make will
low ware, chairs especially. The only
possible thing that could interfere with
your certain fortune would be revision
of their tariff laws. And this do not
think likely to take place. Mexico is
trying hard to inspire home industry with
life and healthy action; and "protection"
is far more likely to be encouraged than
set aside, as things now stand.-Joaquan

The Sealing Of Letters.

How were letters sealed before the in
vcntion of gummed envelope? In one of
the last numbers of lie Li0re, Mr.. s.
Blondel has an interesting article upon
this subject, in which he describes all the
methods of sealing that have been sue
cessively employed from the remotest
antiquity. The first seals consisted of a
ring that was affixed to clay or bole, and
later to chalk or creta astatica, mixture
of pitch, wax and plaster. The use of
wax did not begin to become general till
the Middle Ages. Beeswax, rendered
yellow by time, was the first material
used. Then came sealing wax mixed
with white substance Red wax began
with Louis VI, in 1113, and green wax
made its appearance about 1853.
In the thirteenth century, yellow,
brown, black, and blue were added to
the foregoing colors. Black wax is a
rarity met with in the seals of the mill
tary religious orders.
Among the ancients, ring seals were
used not only for scaling letters, but also
as small locks were not common, for seal
ing caskets and chests that contained
valuable objects; and they were even en-
ploycd for sealing the doors of houses
and apartments.
Under rhe First Empire. people began
to use waters, which were brought from
Italy by the soldiers and officers of the
French army. These waters were cut with
punch out of thin leaf made of flour.
Finally, gummed envelopes gradually
began to replace sealing wax and waters
nearly everywhere. The first envelopes,
which were manufactured in England,
date back to 1910. The machine for
folding them was invented in 1S43, by
Mcssrs. Edwin Hill and Warren dc Ia
Rue, and in 1S49 was so improved by the
latter that it was capable of folding and
cumming 5000 envelopes per hour. Since
1850, the annual production of envelopes
has been greatly increasing, and there are
now being daily manufactured in Paris
alone, 1900, 900 daily.

"The Curious in Dairying."

An Ohio farmer says in the New York
Tribune: One comes across ''queer wrin-
kles" in dairying; some of them really
have scientific" side, but the operators
for the life of them can give no reason
for their practice. One lady says she al
ways puts pint of cold water in the CEN
tire of each milk pan when she "scts it"
why, she does not know, but she always
has good luck getting cream. Now there
is more science about this than appears on
the surface. Milk contains more or less
albuminous matter which makes it slightly
"sticky." In some instances this is very
marked, and amounts to pronounced WIS.,
costly. Water is solvent of it, and the
addition of pure cold water makes the
milk get more fluid and enables the but
ter fats to rise with more resistance, and
hence the better cream. The cooling ef-
feet of the water at the centre of the
milk might aid more than one would
think possible. The only effect would
be that of making the milk more limpid,
and would not be Objectionable, but the
question'comes up, would there not be
more certainty about cream rising if the
milk were put in can-pails and set in
tanks of cold water, and the lower, uni
form temperature of the milk secured2
Another curious custom lately came to
my knowledgc-that of washing out the
butter with sweet skim milk, as it did
not give the butter fiat" taste like that
impaired when water was used. If old
or strong butter be washed out with
sweet milk, it dissolvcs and liberates
some of the elements, notably acids, that
cause the change in butter I suspect this
lady churned very old, or sour cream,
and the sweet milk takes out the ele-
ments wrought by the chemical action Of
sourinc, and leaves the butter with
flavor not influenced by these objection
able features. The thing that all au-
thorities now say makes butter bad
(cascine) has not been got out of the but
ter, and, with the little remaining de-
composing caseine and sugar, it must be
sooner hastened on its road to question
able flavor, and consequent low price
Had this lady churned oftcner, and used
cream less acid, she would have found
that salt and water is everyway superior
to sweet milk as an aid in butter-wash-
ing. 1t is always safe and more profit
able to let the consumer judge about the
mt" taste in butter than to try to force
upon him flavor he has learned to avoid.
The market is strongly drifting toward
fresh-made butter, churncd from slightly
acid cream, washed free from butter
milk with weak brine, and saltcd not to
exceed half ounce to the pound.

Suffering W0manhOOd.

Too much effort cannot be made to bring
to the attention of suffering womanhood the
great value of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound as a remedy for the diseases OF
women. Such an one is the wife of General
Barringer, of Winston, n. c., and we quote
from the Generals letter as follows: Dear
Mrs. Pinkham: Please allow me to add my

qualities of your Vegetable Compound. Mrs.
Barringer was treated for several years for
what the physician called Leucorrhea and
Prolapsus Uteri combined. sent her to
Richmond. Va, where she remained for six
months under the treatment Of an eminent
physician without any permanent benefit.
She was induced to try your medicine, and
after a reasonable time commenced to i'm
prove and is now able to attend to her busi-
ness and considers herself fully relieved" "

How Horses arc Spoiled.

When we have succeeded in inspiring
the horse with entire confidence in him
self and in his master also, there is but
little likelihood unless he is very ner-
vous or very pcrverse horse, that he
will become troublesome through any
vicious act, Or want Of honesty. 'Balk-

overloaded while yet young, stops to rest
without being told to do SO. and finding
the rest agreeable, and tic starting-bc-
ing weary-disagrceable, it is not to be
wondered at that he forms the habit of
stopping, and thcnccforward becomes a
"balkcr." If, when this first inclination

when under these circumstances the
horse is hit with whip, and sharply
reprimanded, then look out for retaila-

are his enemy, and from that moment he
places himself irf an antagonistic posi-
tion, looking upon his master as an en-
